Weddings in Belarus

Traditional national weddings in Belarus lasted seven days. Nowadays a wedding lasts for one or two days. A bride wears a snow-white dress. A groom wears a black or white suit. They usually get married in church. Bride and groom exchange rings. Usually a bride takes her husband’s family name. The newly-married couple takes a seven-day honeymoon. They travel to another country, mostly newly-married travel to the hot place or voyage. Newly-married usually live apart from their families. In my country gifts given to the bride and groom are very expensive. This is usually like that because people think marriage is forever.
